What can you do to protect yourself by accessing online from your cell phone?

Make sure your smartphone operating system is updated, keeping you protected with the latest security changes for your device.

Avoid accessing your accounts through public Wi-Fi networks, such as those offered in fast food restaurants, libraries, or recreational parks.

Avoid storing passwords or answers to security questions on paper, pictures, or applications such as Notes, where the information could be accessed.

Do not jailbreak your smartphone operating system. This makes the device more vulnerable to malicious software attacks and removes any protection provided by the manufacturer. It would also void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Only access and make purchases at secure online sites. Make sure their addresses begin with ‘https’ (which means the security measures are more thorough).
